One thought on “SQL2005 SP1 CTP Released”

Chris – there could be no breaking change in behavior in service pack. Even between releases, breaking changes are rare and must be well justified. The mechanism for better control of solve orders mentioned in that thread is not a breaking change, and it won\’t affect any existing application. Besides, it is not part of SP1. Please contact me or CSS for better understanding of the nature of the change.
